Frequently asked questions
Where is the Foshan furniture market?
The best-known furniture market area is Lecong Town in Shunde District, Foshan, Guangdong — a long stretch of furniture exhibition malls along the main roads through Lecong. Longjiang Town, also in Shunde, is known for furniture materials and upholstery supply.
Can I buy directly in the Lecong furniture market?
Yes, but many showrooms in the market are trading outlets rather than factories, prices and quality vary widely, and goods from different shops still need to be checked, packed and consolidated. A local sourcing agent helps compare, negotiate, inspect and ship.
How long should I plan for a visit?
Many buyers plan several days for the Lecong market and selected factory visits. We can plan an itinerary based on your product list.
